Canada has a long cricket history, dating back to the 1800s when it participated in the first ever official International cricket match staged in North America vs the USA. That three day match garnered thousands of spectators watching Canada win a thrilling fixture over the British Empire.

The Cricket Canada’s Mens team participates in the ICC High Performance Program and qualified for the 2011 Cricket World Cup hosted by India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. It had previously qualified for the 1979, 2003 and 2007 Cricket World Cups.

The Women’s and U15 teams also participates in International competitions within the the ICC America’s Region.

Cricket Canada manages the CC KIDS program which exposes Cricket at the grassroots level. In 2009, over 20,000 children throughout the country played cricket in both school and community based development programs.
